Read Jaxson's Angel for Free Online Page A

met you, I never would have imagined I would have such strong feelings for you. I never would have thought I would have dreams about you or miss being by your side or get butterflies in my stomach when someone mentions your name." Jaxson leaned in close, his eyes now locked on hers, showing all of the tender emotions he spoke of. "When I first met you I never would have thought I would love you."
    Tears welled in Angel's eyes. No one had ever said anything so sweet to her before, and she simply didn't know what to do or say…so she kissed him instead. It was no small thing either, and she soon found herself pressed up against the wall with Jaxson devouring her. And oh, how she wanted to be devoured.
    "Angel," her name was a tormented plea spilling from his lips. "We have to stop. I can't do this, not yet." He was panting now, as was she, and his face showed just how much discomfort stopping was causing him.
    "Why? We're both adults, Jaxson, and I think it's fairly obvious I was okay with where this was heading." She couldn't help the aggravation that leaked into her tone but wouldn't apologize either. She was ready to move their relationship forward and he was running from her like he was scared!
    "I need more from you, Angel." He shook his head as if searching for words.
    "What do you need?"
    "Everything." His eyes were deadly serious now. "I need all of you, body and soul. I want a relationship with you like the ones in Colton's books, and I can give that to you, but you have to be willing to accept it." He locked his eyes with hers, trapping her in his pale blue gaze. "If we do this then you will be mine forever, not just for a week. Do you understand what I'm asking of you?"
    He wanted a relationship? Marriage?
    Sure, she was falling in love with him, but did he expect her to just drop everything and move in with him now? She had to admit the thought was tempting. After all, she really didn't relish the idea of going back to the city and you could be a literary agent anywhere.
    Could she do it from Florida?
    For a man like Jaxson, yes, yes she could. In fact, she would start looking for an office space immediately. When she made to tell him, he placed his hand over her mouth and shook his head.
    "Don't give me your answer yet. I want you to think about things tonight, and we'll talk again tomorrow. Forever, Angel. It's a long time, and you need to be sure you can handle it because once I have you then that's it for me. You're it for me."
    Angel nodded, accepted a final kiss, and watched as Jaxson quickly made his way back to the sidewalk and headed to his own home.

    Colton was absolutely no help. Angel had asked him for his take on things and was rewarded with awkward stammering and grudging advice. Basically, he wanted to remain neutral in the situation and not become involved in any final decisions.
    "I'm sorry, Colton. It wasn't fair of me to try and get information from you regarding Jaxson, but he's got me so confused right now I don't know what I'm doing. He says he can give me a relationship like the ones you describe in your books, but how can that be possible?" she sighed. "I'm falling in love with him, Colton. I want to stay here and be with him, but what if he's trying to give me an out, hoping I take it so he doesn't have to be the one to end things?"
    He chuckled. "I can assure you that's not the case. He's tied up in just as many knots as you are right now. I think you two should talk. This is something to be worked out between the two of you."
    "Can we go down to the docks? I'd like to walk, though. I think the exercise will do me good." Angel found a good workout always helped her to clear her mind, and she had a feeling she would need a clear head to deal with what was sure to be an intense talk with Jaxson.
    "Sure, we can."
    They arrived at the parking area for the dock a little over an hour later with Angel feeling slightly off balance and fuzzy. She'd started the walk going strong, but a
